Mum

I’ve one person to thank for who I’ve become,

Yes, I am who I am because of my mum.

She taught me how to count, read and write,

And the important differences between wrong and right.

How to tie my shoelaces and not end up in a knot,

And that families stick together, no matter what.

Because life throws challenges in all shapes and sizes,

But she has always been present to help and guide us.

To offer constant support, love and advice,

And in times of trouble she doesn’t think twice.

She has had to be strong she has had to be tough,

But she has also shown us her endless love.

I am yet to be a mum and yet to understand,

But I know she’ll be there to lend a helping hand.

For every life lesson and everything she’s done,

I couldn’t have asked for a better mum!!
